Quisiera Amarte Menos

I Wish I Could Love You Less

Quisiera Amarte Menos

Spring of my twentiesPrimavera de mi veinte años
Reliquary of my youthRelicario de mi juventud
A happy affection I dreamed ofUn cariño feliz yo soñaba
And I am alone with my slaveryY estoy solo con mi esclavitud

How many times I have begged fateCuantas veces he rogao al destino
to be a slave to this blue dreamSer esclavo de este sueño azul
A happy affection I have dreamed ofUn cariño feliz yo he soñao
And I am alone with my slaveryY estoy solo con mi esclavitud

I wish I could love you lessQuisiera amarte menos
I wish I could not see you anymoreNo verte mas quisiera
Save myself from this fireSalvarme de esta hoguera
That I can't resistQue no puedo resistir
I don't want this affectionNo quiero este cariño
That gives me no restQue no me da descanso
Without you, I can't find peaceSin ti la paz no alcanzo
And I can't live far awayY lejos no se vivir

I wish I could love you lessQuisiera amarte menos
Because this is no longer lifePorque esto ya no es vida
My life is lostMi vida esta perdia
From loving you so muchDe tanto quererte

I don't know if I needNo se si necesito
to have you or lose youTenerte o perderte
I know that I have loved youYo se que te he querido
More than I couldMas de lo que he podido
I wish I could love you lessQuisiera amarte menos
Seeking to forgetBuscando el olvido
And instead of loving you lessY en vez de amarte menos
I love you much moreTe quiero mucho mas

I know that between two who love each otherYa lo se que entre dos que se quieren
Affection must be differentEl cariño distinto ha de ser,
While one gives their whole lifeMientras uno da entera su vida
The other just lets themselves be lovedOtro solo se deja querer

I know and yet I can'tYa lo se y sin embargo no puedo
Be content with just loving youConformarme con quererte yo
I'm afraid it will never endTengo miedo que nunca termine
This harsh sentence of loveEsta dura condena de amor

I wish I could love you less...Quisiera amarte menos...

They advise me to forget youMe aconsejan que te olvide
Oh, what barbarity!Osù, que barbarià!
How not to know how to loveComo no saber querer
They don't know how to adviseNo saben aconsejar
